celebrate our WINTER / WARMING SHELTER success (it's a banquet)

BANQUET for the Martinsville WINTER / WARMING SHELTER
Tuesday, March 31st at 7pm; Salvation Army gym
RSVP by replying to this email

Hello friend of the homeless,

It is amazing to look back over the last three and half months and see all we have been able to accomplish through the Martinsville WINTER / WARMING SHELTER.  The only way we could have had the success we've experienced is to acknowledge that this would not have been possible without the help of all our partners and volunteer team team.

You are invited to a celebration.  On Tuesday, March 31st at 7pm there will be a CELEBRATION BANQUET for the Martinsville WINTER / WARMING SHELTER.  This will take place at our shelter, the Salvation Army at the corner of Bridge Street and Memorial Boulevard in Martinsville.  

All volunteers, partners, those who donated and friends are encouraged to take part in this celebration, and you are welcome to bring your spouse or a friend.  Also pass this invitation on to others who may not be getting this email.

Please RSVP by replying to this email or by letting myself or Mary Wampler know you plan to attend.  Watch for emails and more information next week about what you will need to bring (like food and donations to help those in need).

I cannot wait to celebrate with you and all who made our winter shelter a great success!

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
